"Specialist Gallery is pleased to present the Ghost and the Maze, new works by Jovencio de la Paz that map the terrain of computerized weaving. Working between wall, table, and floor, these textiles operate as a spatial exploration as much as visualization of the algorithmic processes utilized to create them. Referring to the ancient sign of the labyrinth and the ghost in the machine, the visual language at play relinquishes much formal determination to the algorithmic operations the artist chooses. The cloth is neither entirely human nor completely machine in origin. What emerges is often an alien visual language, a vernacular of line, color, and shape that surfaces from the interior, computer world of algorithms. 

Jovencio de la Paz works in a space between digital technology and hand weaving. Focused on creating specialized designed software and drawing tools, de la Paz collaborates with algorithms, self-generating patterns, and computational creativity to explore the related histories of computer technology and the loom. The resulting textiles, hand-woven on a computerized Thread Controller loom, display a tension between the physical world and the digital, the organic and technological, and the haptic quality of cloth versus the perceived rigidity of the numerical.
